There's more than one type of Kali and people all over India worships them in different ways. Nice work OP. Don't let people judge your work.

Because this artwork is based on the image that first pops up in the English Wikipedia article. Which in all likelihood was their only reference point.

This art by OP is based on the depiction of the goddess, Chinnamasta, as stated in the title of the work. This goddess is one of the ten goddesses of the Mahavidya and she is usually depicted as beheading herself whilst standing on top of a naked couple(Kama Deva and Rati). OP didn’t depict anything wrong/incorrect in their artwork

It’s sad to see people paint Indians so light skinned even today. It makes sense for ancient artist because of colorism, but I assumed people would be better today.

Whoever made this it's utterly disrespectful to hindu dharm and before making such painting like this you need to know about maa kaali and hindu culture. Why you people always need to show sex in everything...? People think it's easy to mock hindu culture because no one gonna object you i bet you to make something like this about islam
IdresaArenim t1_iucysrc wrote
This seems like a reasonable depiction of Chhinnamasta, what is disrespectful?

Chinnamasta is always depicted on top of Kama and Rati mid coitus.

Bro i had the same Confusion, M a hindu aswell. This is not Goddess Kali. She's goddess chinnamasta, search her up. Apparently there are so many gods and goddesses that even we hindus don't even know about all of them
justlazyaf9 t1_iuczggt wrote
Just another wiki page what Wikipedia knows about hindu culture and devi ...? It's not even 100% facts what's written on wiki . Just because you read a article on wiki it's not mean you know everything about maa kaali and i ask you can you make something like this about prophet muhammad...?
tharki-papa t1_iuczobq wrote
Because North indians are Light skinned, Search how ppl look in Kashmir or Uttarakhand or even delhi. Actually there are people of all colours here
justlazyaf9 t1_iud03tg wrote
All devi is form of maa parvati include devi kaali and devi chinnamastra as well
IdresaArenim t1_iud0cd3 wrote
You mean you're against depictions of Devi in the same way muslims are against depictions of muhammad?
Maximosmanolisart OP t1_iud0hjm wrote
You are ignorant.
justlazyaf9 t1_iud0rwl wrote
I don't care what Muslim do and think i just care about my culture and religion i still ask you whoever make this painting can he make something like about prophet muhammad...? Just another stupid guy who thinks just because reading a wiki page he knows everything and can paint anything about hindu dharm
justlazyaf9 t1_iud14tc wrote
What you know about hindu culture...? Just because you read a wiki page you think you can paint anything you want i still ask you can you paint prophet muhammad...? And what's your religion...?

Ah ok so you're against non-Hindus making art of Devi?

I am Hindu. And I will never paint Muhammad. Because I don’t want it, I don’t see anything artistic there.

How you gonna like if i paint jesus in a very disrespectful way in my painting and called it's nothing wrong because i read about jesus in wiki page

What is the disrespect here though? I'm not clear on what is wrong with this depiction?
I also wouldn't care if you paint Jesus anyway you want, I'm not christian
justlazyaf9 t1_iud1xo1 wrote
You can't paint because you know how Muslim gonna react it's easy for you to paint hindu gods because you know no one gonna object this is why people feel free to paint anything about hindu gods
justlazyaf9 t1_iud2d1v wrote
What's your religion than tell me...? You don't have any culture and religion so you don't care but i care about my culture and religion.
Thunder_and_rain t1_iud2jyf wrote
Yes, because of colorism.

You don't seem to even know much about your religion to be honest, you just sound like an angry nationalist

Majority of people in India don’t look like that. A artist in South India will also paint the goodness white because they prefer white skin over dark skin.

Yes it’s a form of Kali! It’s tantric deva. I explore about Hinduism and I want to be one day. Because I am painter all of these philosophy creates many images in my head and I want to paint all of these
mobasan t1_iudbceh wrote
Even in north, any idols or anything representing a form of Shiva and Narayana are made in jet black.
Thunder_and_rain t1_iudbm0e wrote
Dude I’m literally South Indian. I know my culture. I specifically mentioned painting because the artist has a choice in the color they use. A black granite is black, they have used white stone as well. They don’t have a choice in the color because they chose stone that were available to them. Are you seriously suggesting Indian don’t have a colorism issue or are you suggesting colorism didn’t affect our art?
SeriousTitan t1_iudbsn7 wrote
Actually it is a depiction from the medieval era... just in a completely different part of the world.
SeriousTitan t1_iudbykh wrote
It's really just modernisation of the goddesses previous depictions. Infact this is more conservative than others.
SeriousTitan t1_iudc9c0 wrote
Hey dumbass... She's literally part of your culture. Our temples have people performing coitus etched on them. Hindu culture doesn't shy away from sexuality.
Your aversion to it is the most anti-hindu thing here.

Yes, a form of Kali or Parvati self sacrificing herself to serve blood to her attendants Dakini and Varini.

It's frankly really impressive and it's great that you painted it with the reverence it deserves instead of juvenile horniness.
Some guys will call it disrespectful but to them... GOOGLE IT.

Sikhism Is not exactly hinduism, But the essence is always there in all of the Bhartiya Dharmas, like Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism.

He's probably Not very old and he definitely doesn't know the story about goddess chinnamasta, He has a problem because there is god Kamadev and goddess Rati engaged in an intercourse, Sanatan Dharma Didn't use to be this hush hush about sex, with time people started having problems if someone depicted anything that actually happened in the story just because someone is naked or having sex there. The religion itself is teaching open mindedness but These pseudo Hindus want to deny it because according to them sex = bad.
as a hindu myself, if this is what actually happened, i completely accept it. And would rather try to understand The teaching and moral of the story than Ranting about naked bodies

Mod here. Representation (or misrepresentation, take your pick) of cherished icons is a cornerstone of Art. If you are offended, explain why in the comments, or just hide the post. Don't expect us to enforce your religious dogma.
For those asking, "What if this was a disrespectful representation of Jesus?!", well, lemme tell ya, just this week ...
